You can lead some to education, but you can't make them think...or, at least, you can't make them think what you want! This also dovetails in an interesting way with the work by Dr. Marvin Marshall, who has developed the Raise Responsibility system. Choice and self-reflection are keys to helping others become more aware. Thank you for this enlightening and intriguing blog post.
